Overall we all had a wonderful time, it was exactly what we needed; downtime to have great conversations and close enough to attractions for activities (HawksNest Tubing, Sugar MTN Skiing/Snowboarding, and Grandfather Mtn, but it was closed due to weather conditions. The cabin is clean and comfortable. Comfortable beds and enough bedding to keep ya warm. There are several stains on the carpets, maybe because it is pet friendly. A good mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dawn will get those stains right out. The garage billard/bedroom is a great place to play pool and make memories. Suggestions: 1. When searching for properties to rent we searched for properties that did NOT require 4*4 or AWD to get to. We are Florida people. This property definitely required AWD to reach with winter weather. We had to purchase snow chains and were able to get to the cabin, but with kids crying thinking we were all going to die sliding off the MTN, it makes for a funny story now. 2. The supplies like Toilet paper and paper towels were not enough for 10 people for 5 days. We purchased more and maybe that is what is expected, and if so should be stated. OR perhaps since there was a winter storm prior to our arrival they were not able to get up there to add to supply. The property manager Ricky was super nice and answered my call the first time it rang. He happily discussed any questions I had. We will definitely return to Fox Wood.
Great stay Good location
I love old and rustic, don't get me wrong, but the carpet in the master was covered in stains. The pictures online showed a bright and airy home but when we got there that wasn't the case. Their was a lamp with no twisty knob to even turn it on. The sleeping situation was so choppy. They counted one of the beds that was in a loft that was TINY. I would not consider that a bed for sleeping. The listing said the coffee maker takes Keurig pods but they didn't fit in it.The big positive was the hot tub and the separate space above the garage was great for the kids, pool table, shuffle board (but it is completely separate from the house).We love the mountains and spent most of the time out and about but I guess we were hoping to get more of what the pictures showed and we did not.
We had a great time at this house! Very spacious and it had everything we needed. The area is absolutely beautiful and the deck and games room was fantastic. Hosts were very responsive. I hope we will be back again soon!
We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everyone. Host/property manager very responsive.
Great place to spend time with family and friends
Cabin was nice and in a good location. Upstairs game room had not been vacuumed; there was popcorn & small pieces of trash on the floor. The main house was very clean. The game room is also upstairs in the detached garage so it didn't work for the children to go play by themselves as it would have in the main house. Also, one of the three upstairs bedrooms only has a curtain and no door. And one of the bathrooms is in the game room which leaves one bathroom upstairs for the three bedrooms.. Both king size bedrooms have large closets. Two of our kids slept in the very large closet in the upstairs bedroom. The large deck and porches were nice after we swept the spider webs and leaves the first day. It took a couple of days to get in touch with the owners but they did allow us to bring a dog at the last minute.
When we arrived, we were pleased with the accommodations, however, throughout our stay we found the outdoor atmosphere could have been kept up better. Lots of debris, spiderwebs and unkept furniture left the prime outdoor living space a little lack luster. An old rug/mat that was dirty, rolled up and unfit to step on barefoot was the rug to enter and exit the hot tube. We did enjoy the hot tub the first night, it was clean and spacious, however, we came across some mechanical issues the next morning, that unfortunately resulted in the hot tub to be out of order the remainder of the trip and no immediate action was made by the home owners to fix the device during our stay. We also weren’t prepared for a bedroom and the pool table to be in a detached building. What was going to be a fun hangout became more of a hassle and too far away from the adults for the kids to play or stay. I don’t feel we will return to this cabin again, despite it’s quirkiness and charm on the inside.
We had a beautiful stay in the mountains. The area was outstanding and the house had a lot to offer. I loved that everything to do was in close vacuity but the house felt very private and quietly tucked away. Since it is pet friendly the carpets were stained, luckily no smell. Of you are bringing pets though, it does not have a fenced in area to let them out in. The appliances were updated and nice to use and the beds were very comfortable. We did have a small issue with during the stay and the local property manager that we were told to contact never answered or got back to us. Luckily it was not a big issue but a tad irritating. Overall the stay was nice! All i can say though is bring extra towels if you use more than 1 towel during your shower time.
My family and friends had a wonderful stay. The house easily accommodated 3 families with children, and our tweens loved the game room. The kitchen was well equipped, as well as the bathrooms with towels and basic toiletries. The home is close to both Sugar and Beech Mountains, perfect for a ski weekend!
